Guys, I'm so bad at crafting. Recently I shaken my head over my inability to control my fingers in such a way that a presentable result comes out. And again it has been shown, just because you sew, knit, crochet, cook, garden, it is far from that you can also do handicrafts. I won't tell you how long it took me, OK hours, to fold this origami star. In between, I've also tried this thing with drinking straws - a disaster. Or this sweet little stars - a debacle. Now back to these paper stars. After several attempts and variations I ended up with the five-pointed star.

The stars were not even for me, but for my girlie's Secret Santa game at school. Her contribution was to paint the paper with watercolors. For the star you need a piece of paper in pentagon shape. After I spent an hour folding paper in pentagon shape as suggested on various sites and I just do not get it done, I dismissed the project and tried disaster and debacle from above. Then I came back to the 5-pointed star and find this webpage and just printed templates (why didn't I think of that earlier?). Then it finally worked. But that's it. I am through with doing handicrafts for a long time. And I'm once again convinced "It isn't necessary to be savvy in everything". Have fun with trying out Origami :)

They look great. I have never tried origami. I would probably find it frustrating too! I bought an origami how to book for my niece for Christmas because they loves crafting. Hopefully the instructions are easy enough to follow!
